中药蜘蛛香的化学成分研究及以羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖-壳聚糖为细胞膜的天冬酰胺酶人工细胞研究

本论文由三章组成。第一章介绍了中药蜘蛛香的化学成分的研究成果，第二章为羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖-壳聚糖为细胞膜的天冬酰胺酶人工细胞的研究，第三章综述了人工细胞在生物医学领域的应用。 第一章报道了中药蜘蛛香（Valeriana wallichii）根部乙醇提取物的化学成分，采用正、反相硅胶层析等分离方法和MS、NMR等多种波谱手段，从中共分离鉴定出17个化合物，分别为缬草素(valtrate，1)，valechlorine（2），homobadrinal（3），baldrinal（4），乙酰缬草素(acevaltrate 5)，valeriotetrate C（6），valeriotetrate B（7），对羟基苯乙酮(4'-hydroxy-acetophenone 8)，7-hydroxy valtrate（9），8-methylvalepotriate（10），1,5-dihydroxy-3,8-epoxyvalechlorine A（11），二氢缬草素(didrovaltrate 12)，胡萝卜苷（13），橙皮苷 (hesperidin 14)，prinsepiol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside（15），longiflorone（16），乙基糖苷（17）。其中化合物6、7、10、和11为新化合物，化合物9、15、16为首次从该植物中得到。新化合物11为含有氯原子的刚性骨架环烯醚萜，并且确定了其绝对构型。 第二章报道了以羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖（CKGM）和壳聚糖（CS）为膜的固定化L-天冬酰胺酶人工细胞研究成果。利用羧甲基魔芋葡苷聚糖和壳聚糖两种生物相容性很好的天然多糖之间的静电吸引力，在非常温和的条件下制备成具有半透过性膜的人工细胞，将治疗儿童急性成淋巴细胞性白血病(ALL)的药物L-天冬酰胺酶包裹在内。通过考察温度和pH对人工细胞的影响,结果表明以CKGM- CS为膜的L-天冬酰胺酶人工细胞对温度和pH的稳定性和耐受性均高于自由酶，说明CKGM-CS对酶具有保护作用，而且小分子底物和产物可以自由进出膜内外，而包裹在膜内的生物大分子则不能泄露出来。 第三章综述了微囊化人工细胞的研究进展。 This dissertation consists of three parts. In the first part, the chemical constituents from the root of Valeriana wallichii were reported. In the second part, preparation and characteristics of L-Asparaginase Artificial cell were reported. The third part is a review on progress of microcapsule artificial cell. The first chapter is about the isolation and identification of the chemical constituents from the root of V. wallichii. Seventeen compounds were isolated from the ethanol extract of roots of V. wallichii through repeated column chromatography on normal and reversed phase silica gel. By the spectroscopic and chemical evidence, their structures were elucidated as valtrate (1), valechlorine (2), homobadrinal (3), baldrinal (4), acevaltrate (5), valeriotetrate C (6), valeriotetrate B (7), 4'-hydroxy-acetophenone (8), 7-hydroxy valtrate (9), 8-methylvalepotriate (10), 1,5-dihydroxy-3,8-epoxyvalechlorine A (11), didrovaltrate (12), daucosterol (13), hesperidin (14), prinsepiol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (15), longiflorone (16), and ethyl glucoside (17). Among them, 6, 7, 10, and 11 are new compounds. 15, 16 and 9 were isolated from this plant for the first time. The absolute configuration of compound 11, an unusual iridoid bearing a C-10 chlor-group and an oxo-bridge connecting C-3 and C-8 resulting in a rigid skeleton, was confirmed. The second chapter is about the semi-permeable microcapsule of carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan-chitosan for L-asparaginase immobilization. Carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan-chitosan (CKGM-CS) microcapsules, which have good biocompatibility, prepared under very mild conditions via polyelectrostatic complexation, were used for immobilize L-asparaginase-a kind of drug for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The activity and stability under different temperature and pH of the enzyme loaded-microcapsules were studied. The results indicated the immobilized enzyme has better stability and activity contrasting to the native enzyme. The study illustrates that the L-asparaginase could be protected in CKGM-CS microcapsules, the substrate and product could pass through the system freely.

Adlayer Structures of DL-Homocysteine and L-Homocysteine Thiolactone on Au(111) Surface: an in situ STM Study

The adsorption Of DL-homocysteine (Hcy) and L-homocysteine thiolactone (HTL) on Au(1 1 1) electrode was investigated in 0.1 M HClO4 by cyclic voltammetry and in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Hcy and HTL molecules formed highly ordered adlayers on Au(1 1 1) surface. High-resolution STM images revealed the orientation and packing arrangement in the ordered adlayers. Hcy molecules formed (2root3 x 3root3)R30degrees adlayer structure and H-bonds between carboxyl groups were assumed to be responsible for the origin of tail-to-tail or head-to-head molecular arrangement, while HTL molecules formed (4 x 6) adlayer structure, and two different orientations and appearances in the ordered adlayer were found. Structural models were proposed for the two adlayers.

High Aspect Ratio (L/D) Riser Viv Prediction Using Wake Oscillator Model

A two-dimensional (2-D) vortex-induced vibration (VIV) prediction model for high aspect ratio (LID) riser subjected to uniform and sheared flow is studied in this paper. The nonlinear structure equations are considered. The near wake dynamics describing the fluctuating nature of vortex shedding is modeled using classical van der Pol equation. A new approach was applied to calibrate the empirical parameters in the wake oscillator model. Compared the predicted results with the experimental data and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) results. Good agreements are observed. It can be concluded that the present model can be used as simple computational tool in predicting some aspects of VIV of long flexible structures. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
